When Bertha Grace is on the threshold of young womanhood, she goes to stay with her grandfather in Ireland, with the trust from her mother of reconciling him and his son, Bertha’s father. Bertha finds her grandfather a recluse and a miser, and in the hands of an underling, who is his evil genius. How she keeps faith with her mother and finds her own fate, through many strange adventures, is the subject of the story. “Full of the poetic charm we are accustomed to find in the works of that gifted writer.”—_World_. —The Handsome Brandons. Illustrated by G. D. HAMMOND, R.I. 3_s._ 6_d._ _New Edition._ A delightful story of an ancient Irish family. Every one of the nine young Brandons was handsome, and every one was spirited and lovable.
